Feedback — Chelsea Nichols with Matthew Griffin

Artist Talk

2.00pm 07 October 2021

Our second podcast features Australian artist Matthew Griffin in conversation with Chelsea Nichols, senior curator at the Dowse Art Museum. Both artist and curator have busy online lives, Nichols feeding her online imaginary museum, Griffin making short videos for Instagram. Here they discuss Matthew's featured work Unchained Malady, the chaos of the algorithm and whether everything is just mould.
